Default Another great FAST autocross -11/15

The boys over at wedrivefast.com pulled off another great autocross this past sunday. Great, fast course layout and a ton of good competition. Not in my class, but overall some great cars and drivers came out. I won my class by 2.25 seconds, and that's with my rotors starting to glaze over.

Now I'm just waiting to see if I still made the top 10 overall again. With a field of over 60 cars, I'll be VERY pleased with a 8 or 9 overall finish. I think I got it, but didn't see where some of the early cars where driving. Did I mention this was only my 6th autocross and only the 4th in the vette. :partyon:

Here's a couple of in-car vids for ya.

My best run of the day.

My second best run, where I first cracked my goal of braking into the 35's (my original goal was low 36's).

Sounds like you're progressing pretty well. Congrats on hitting your goal.

I've tracked the Vette and AX'd the Integra (a fun little car that you can really throw around) but I can't wait for next year to try AX in the Vette.

How many runs do you typically get with that group?

Thanks. We run at two locations. Our St Pete course we get 6-7 runs. In Brooksville it's usually 5-6 (longer course). It all depends on the course layout and how many attend.
